    Lost 29lbs is 2 weeks

    And no, it wasn't ephedra. Replaced the stock battery that I weighed at 37 1/2 lbs with an Odyssey weighing in at 16 1/2 for a total of 21lbs. It's one of those light weight motorcyle batteries I thought I would give a try. I can always go back to a stock type battery if I have any trouble...
